Source Category Templates (patterns) are constructed using various Source Elements. The
Templates created by Wholly Genes are based on style guides and created in this manner.
There are 32 Source Element Groups and more than 160 Source Elements. A Source
Element Group
consists of one or more Source Elements. One Source Element in each Source
Element Group
takes the name of the Source Element Group. All other Source Elements assigned to that Source
Element Group are nothing more than other names (aliases or nicknames) of the one Source Element
named for the Source Element Group.

Because the Source Elements are really just different names for the same thing, only
one Source Element from a Source Element Group may be used in the Source
Templates of any Source Type. The Source Element Groups indicate their meanings and general similarity
for use. But, you may assign other names (Custom Source Elements) to a Source
Element Group. So
although a Source Element in that Source Element Group may be used in one Source
Type, a different
Source Element in the same Source Element Group (with a completely different meaning) may be used
in another Source Type.

You may effect a global change to a Source Template (which affects all Sources using
that Source Type) in the Master Source Types List (Tools=>Source Types from
the Main Menu) by highlighting a Source Type and clicking on the Edit button.

A Source Template may be modified for a single Source in
the Output Forms tab of the Source Definition Screen Click on the Full Footnote,
Short Footnote or Bibliography button on the left of the screen. You may edit the
Source Template in the window that appears by adding, changing, or deleting the Source
Elements as shown below (upper-case letters within square brackets). If you have
made changes and decide that you want to leave the Pattern as shown on the Template (i.e.,
the default), then just simply erase the entire Pattern and save the empty screen which
then goes back to the default Pattern.

To add a Custom Source Element, select the Tools=>Source Elements from the
Main Menu. Click on the Add button to display the Add Source Element
window. In the Source Element field near the top of the window, enter the
name of the Custom Source Element. Then in the list below, scroll to find
and highlight the Source Element Group in which you wish to add the Custom
Source Element. Now click on the OK button to save the change and
return to the Source Elements window.
